Metzer offers PC and non-PC drippers (Vered, Adi, Vardit, Idit, Gali) suited for varying pressure, terrain, and planting layouts, enabling optimal performance in every orchard.
Yes, with caution. Clay soils need ridges to avoid root rot, while sandy soils require tight dripper spacing to reduce leaching. Metzer systems are tailored to each case.
Annual demand ranges from 500–1,000 mm depending on variety, age, and climate. Irrigation must be adjusted seasonally based on evapotranspiration (ET) rates.
Drip systems prevent trunk wetting and deliver water directly to the roots, lowering the risk of phytophthora, evaporation, and energy consumption, particularly in windy or hot climates.
Metzer’s CleanLine technology protects driplines from clogging caused by saline or treated wastewater. It ensures longevity and yield stability under non-conventional water use.
Growers must manage salt sensitivity, shallow roots, water stress, and trunk rot. Improper irrigation increases risks of fruit drop, small size, and disease pressure.
Citrus trees have shallow roots and are very sensitive to moisture imbalance, salinity, and overwatering. Precision irrigation promotes uniform growth, high fruit quality, and helps prevent disease.
